Daydream
Once upon a Daydream,
somewhere near the Edge of Time
I met a Lady of The Weird
who spoke of Mystery in Rhyme.
She said,
"I know just where you're coming from
and maybe where you're going to
and I wish I had something to say
that might stop you feeling blue"
"You've seen around the World
and it's made you pretty sad.
The one or two bright things you glimpse
get overshadowed by The Bad"
"The Way of Life seems a Trail of Tears
to a Wednesdays Child so full of woe.
If Thursdays Child is more happy
it's because it may not know"
She said,
"And now I will speak of Certain Things
that you may care to write.
An Unfolding of The Tapestry,
shall be before your eyes tonight"
I grabbed a pen and felt my heart
begin a' fluttering like a bat.
Was I to be given Sacred Insight
to understand This and That?
Then She said,
"These things of which I speak,
are not beyond most normal ken,
but yet these things that you might see
may not be seen by many men"
And then She spoke in Rhyme and Riddle
about The Workings of The Fates.
And She showed me many Ghastly Things
and She spoke of Certain Dates.
She said,
"As now I speak, so you must write,
these are Things of Grave Portent.
The things I say need to be known
by your Earthly Government
She also said,
"The Ways of Men and Women too,
have undergone a Close Scrutiny.
And the upshot is, it's all a Sorry Joke,
because they have lost The Way to Be.
"Distorted value casts it's shadow,
almost everywhere about.
Ruination is spreading fast
whilst Time is running out"
"Integrity and Honesty
and The Corner Stones of Life,
are now overweighed most awfully
by a selfish kind of strife"
"Greed and Gain have not been quashed
but still form the base of Power.
Eager concerns for aggrandisement
grow ever greater by the hour"
"It seems to be that a Tragedy
is being reiterated for all seasons
The Human race is in disgrace
for a multitude of reasons"
"And so alas, it will come to pass,
a visitation most unexpected.
Strange Warriors quite invincible
will begin to finalise as directed"
After hearing this, I then replied
with a voice of uncommon brightness
"To me, Sweet Miss, your words are bliss
Bring on a Victory for Rightness"
